Toronto was blown out 10-1 by the Giants, falling to 42-49 on the season and slipping further behind in the American League Wild Card race. With the offense continuing to disappear and the trade deadline fast approaching, we'll ask the question every Blue Jays fan is thinking: How concerned should we be?
On Game Preview 92 of Flight Deck, hosted by Adam Peddle, he breaks down another frustrating night that featured John Schneider's blunt postgame assessment, Kevin Gausman's continued struggles, and a Blue Jays offense that made one of baseball's weakest lineups look like a contender.
We'll also discuss whether Gausman's recent stretch is simply a bump in the road or something more concerning, how much the defensive mistakes are contributing to the team's collapse, and why the lack of hitting continues to be Toronto's biggest problem.
Looking ahead, we'll preview tonight's matchup as Spencer Miles gets the ball against Trevor McDonald. Can Miles continue his breakout season, and should the Blue Jays begin stretching him out into a full-time starter as they search for answers in the rotation?
Then, Adam talks all the major storylines surrounding the Blue Jays, David Popkin's pregame comments and more!
We finish with Adam's picks presented by bet365.
